Mechanically it is identical. See Hunter's Kill Command in WoW.

Obviously the caster is going to be GCD locked, they will still have to cast abilities...even if the abilities sourced from the pet the only difference would be cosmetic.

Sure some might prefer that, but that isn't what a lot of people are asking for. Heck I don't think they even know what they're asking for.

My point is that regardless of whether it is pet based or player based they are not going to completely overhaul the idea of the current SMN (unless it takes 10 years, see WoW warlock, even that was a resource revamp instead of extreme gameplay change).
